Hey, it's me! It's another chapter! Review! Plus, a little Halo reference. You'll know it when you see it. Plus, look out for a James Potter reference.

Chapter 48

Pan blinked as she looked around. The square of light from the entrance let Pan see the wall in front of her. Pan could see lines of drawn figures on the wall.

"Hieroglyphics." Pan said softly as she traced her hand over part of the wall.

"Girl! Hurry up!" Raditz barked. She turned to see both saiyans looking at her from the end of a hallway. Pan blinked and rushed to join the other saiyans. When she reached them, she turned and looked down the hallway that Bardock and Raditz were looking at. It was pretty dark. Pan couldn't see the end of it. The young saiyan shivered as she rubbed her shoulders.

"Hmph. Let's keep moving." Bardock said as he started to walk forward.

"Alright. I'll make a light." Pan said as she started to pull her wand out. Bardock whirled to look at Pan with wide eyes.

"NO!" Bardock roared as he smashed Pan's wand out of her hand, causing it to fall to the ground. The next second, Bardock had Pan pinned against the wall.

"Are you nuts? You almost got us killed!" Bardock hissed.

"Huh?" Pan blinked with confusion.

"What father is trying to say, is that if you used that twig of yours, we would be dead. I'd advise putting that piece of wood away." Raditz smirked as he held his palm out, causing a purple orb to float above it.

"Okay, sorry." Pan apologized as Bardock let her go.

"Follow me, and do exactly what I say." The saiyan said as he created a blue ball above his hand. Pan followed with a yellow ball. The hallway echoed with their footsteps as they walked through it.

"Hey great gramps, did the saiyans make these hieroglyphics?" Pan asked as she looked around.

"I don't think so. Saiyans weren't known for their painting skills. All this stuff was probably made by the muggles that came after our ancestors left." Bardock said as he looked up at a picture of a boat on a river.

"You keep saying ancestors. Were our ancestors soldiers under Bazba?" Pan frowned. Raditz snorted.

"What?" Pan frowned. Bardock didn't say a word as he traced his free hand across the wall as they kept walking. Pan wasn't sure how many minutes had gone by as they continued walking through hallways and walking around corners, their ki balls being the only light around. Paan soon found herself standing next to Raditz. She cleared her throat nervously as she looked at her great-uncle.

"What?" Raditz frowned at Pan.

"Nothing. It's just… let's just say that this works, and we win. What exactly are you going to do when this is all over?" Pan frowned at the long haired saiyan.

"I could ask you the same thing, my dear grand-niece." Raditz chuckled.

"Huh?" Pan frowned.

"Oh please, that old witch told me everything. At least my grand-nephew is a true saiyan! You used to be one too, if I recall." Raditz smirked. Pan's free hand clenched as her Dark Mark burned. Then, she sighed.

"He wasn't always like that. He used to be a good person. He just… snapped. Now, he's full of hate and pain." Pan sighed.

"Heh. I take it that he's stuck in that junk suit for a reason?" Raditz smiled.

"Because I put him in it. It was the most painful thing that I've ever had to do. He was… one of the only people who was a true friend to me." Then, Pan sighed.

"But he was out of control. That bastard Cell and bitch Morgana… they twisted and warped his mind. They turned him into a monster. They used both of us to do their dirty work. Just like how Frieza used you." Pan said as she turned to look at Raditz. Raditz's eyes widened, and then he smirked.

"Well… you're not at all like Kakarot or his son. I like that." Raditz smirked.

"What? Yes I am! I'm my father's daughter!" Pan yelled at Raditz.

"Wrong. You're no different from me or Prince Vegeta, no matter what you tell yourself. That mark on your arm proves it." Raditz smirked. At the moment, Pan's arm seared again, causing her to winch.

"I was a different person back then." Pan said.

"You can say that all you want, but you can't hide who you really are. Take Kakarot, for an example. Even though the fool smashed his head and lost his true saiyan, he still fights for the thrill of battle. Try to deny that when you fight, you feel the thrill course through your body, fueling you, feeding you?" Raditz smiled as he and Pan stared at each other.

"I do." Pan said softly as she looked down, making the long-haired saiyan grin.

"You see? Was that so hard to admit?" Raditz smirked. In front of them, Bardock frowned as he glanced back.

"So gramps, anything yet?" Pan asked as she moved her attention back to Bardock. At that moment, a cold wind rushed through the hallway and collided with the three saiyans, causing them to freeze. The ki balls in their hand fizzed out, causing the three saiyans to be enveloped in complete darkness.

"At long last… the time has come. My blood has returned, to finish what I started." A deep voice rumbled. Then, the cold feeling vanished, and Pan gasped for air. She hadn't even realized that she had been holding her breath. Then, she turned to see a purple ball light up, revealing Raditz's face.

"That was… unpleasant." Raditz frowned as Pan made a yellow ki ball, illuminating her face. Then, both saiyans turned to see Bardock with his hand glowing blue.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Pan glared at Bardock.

"We're close. The opening should be around here." Bardock frowned.

"Hello? What was that? Something that you're forgetting to mention?" Pan frowned at Bardock as she began to walk.

CRUNCH! All three saiyan stopped cold. Pan looked down to see...

"Is that… a wand?" Pan blinked with shock as she reached down(her ki ball faded), and grabbed what she stepped on. She brought it up to show two pieces of what appeared to be a black wand, now broken into two pieces.

"This doesn't look like it's been here very long." Pan said softly. Bardock frowned, and then pushed his ki ball away from him, lighting up the rest of the hall. Pan couldn't hide the gasp. There were wands lying all over the floor, of all kinds. There were even a few staffs lying around.

"What the? Twigs?" Raditz frowned as he looked around.

"Not twigs, Uncle Raditz, wands. These are what witches and wizards use to focus their magic through. There has to be hundreds around here…" Pan said softly as she looked around.

"I remember reading about how these guys used staffs like these when our ancestors were here in that library at Gohan's school. Looks like Bazba and Ragnok got their revenge." Bardock chuckled as he kicked a staff, sending it clattering away.

"This doesn't make sense. If all these wands are here, where are the bodies of the people that they belong to? There's no blood, robes, anything." Pan frowned as she put her communicator to her mouth.

"Uncle Ron? Hermione?" Pan asked.

"Pan? Is that you? Did you find anything?" Hermione's voice came over.

"Yeah… we sure did." Pan said nervously.

"What?" The muggle-born asked with interest.

"Ummm… tell me, do wizards disappear when they die?" Pan asked nervously.

"Ummm… I don't think so. Dumbledore's body didn't vanish when he died. Why?" Hermione frowned.

"Because, we've got hundreds of wands lying around, but no bodies." Pan said. Hermione gasped, and Ron's squeak could be heard over the device.

"Wands?" Ron squeaked.

"Yeah. It looks like the security system took care of anyone who came through here. We've even got staffs lying around. Uncle Ron, you're lucky that you didn't come in here. If we ever see Uncle Bill, I'm telling him the same thing. I'll call back when I see something. Call me if you see anything or anyone suspicious." Pan said as she looked around.

"Alright. Good luck down there." Hermione said. Then, Pan turned off the communicator.

"This means that we're definitely close. It's gotta be around here somewhere." Bardock said as he traced his free hand over the wall and continued walking.

"Hey, what are you looking for?" Pan frowned. All she could see were hieroglyphics of Egyptian gods and the Nile, and dozens of other pictures.

"Bingo!" Bardock yelled as he looked at part of the wall. Pan and Raditz walked over to where Bardock was and blinked in confusion. On the wall, there was a large space in between a series of hieroglyphics. The only thing in the space was two handprints. If you looked closer, you could see that the square was actually made of words, lined in sentences.

"It's written in saiyan." Bardock muttered as he traced his finger across the square. The lines went: "Weesa bensa mecca selik bera maw irne merwa orph irze narew bet itm oprew."

"If you are of our blood, then prove your worth. Present yourself for judgment to gain our secrets and avenge our defeat." Pan said, making Bardock and Raditz look at her with surprise.

"Impressive. Who taught you fluent saiyan?" Bardock asked.

"I taught myself. I found a few novels in saiyan and taught myself the language. It was a long and hard process, but I got the hang of it." Pan said with a smile on her face.

"Impressive. So, they want to prove our worth… they want us to prove that we are saiyan." Bardock frowned.

"I'd have to say that it involves those handprints." Raditz frowned as he looked at the two handprints.

"One for a male, and one for a female…" Then, Bardock looked at Pan.

"Give me your sword, NOW!" Bardock yelled as he held his hand out. Pan frowned with confusion, but he quickly pulled her sword out and handed it to the saiyan. Then, to her shock, Bardock sliced his hand!

"Father?" Raditz frowned as Bardock closed his cut hand, and then opened it.

"They want proof, so we're giving it to them. Our blood. Now you." Bardock said as he held the sword to Pan with his uninjured hand. Pan nodded as she pulled her right glove off, and then grabbed it with her left hand. Then, Pan let out a gasp as she sliced her palm open, causing red blood to flow out. She gritted her teeth as she clenched her hand.

"Oh, that does not hurt." Raditz smirked.

"Now, together, on the count of three. Ready?" Bardock asked as he held his red hand over one of the handprints.

"Right." Pan said as she did the same thing over the other handprint.

"Right. One, two… THREE!" then, Bardock and Pan pushed their hands against the handprints. For a second, the room was silent. Then…

FLASH! Blue lines shot out from the handprint and criss-crossed all over the hallway. The floor began to rumble. Bardock, Pan, and Raditz backed up as the wall in front of them rumbled, and then slowly moved to the left. Then, a white light blinded the three saiyans, temporarily blinding them.

"Well… that was something." Raditz smirked.

"Let's go." Bardock smirked as he charged into the white light, quickly followed by Pan and Raditz. Several seconds later, Pan blinked as she looked around. They were in another hallway, but this one looked completely different than before. The walls were lined with a grayish metal, lined with blue symbols.

"Wow… this is amazing." Pan said softly. Then, she winched as her hand stung. She pulled off her bandana and wrapped it around her cut hand.

"That'll have to do until I can get a sensu bean." Pan sighed.

"Hmph. Without that rag around your head, you faintly remind me of Mother." Raditz smirked as he looked at Pan.

"Not the time!" Bardock barked, making both saiyans go quiet. Then, they came to the end of the hallway.

"Oh no!" Pan groaned while Bardock and Raditz frowned. In front of them was a gigantic door. It was lined with symbols, and was made with the same metal as the hallways.

"We must be in the center of the structure. What we're looking for must be on the other side of this door. But how the hell do we get in?" Bardock muttered as he walked up to the large door and touched it with a frown on his face.

"Look around! There's got to be some instructions around here!" Bardock yelled. Pan instantly started flying around the room while Raditz simply leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

"Nothing! I can't see anything!" Pan said as she landed next to Bardock, who yelled in rage as he slammed his fist into the door.

"You could do something!" Pan yelled at Raditz, who simply frowned.

"I say, let's blast the door in. If you ask me, this door's a test to show that we're really saiyans. After all, could a twig-waver smash it down?" Raditz smirked.

"Yes… that makes sense! Of course! Son, you did get my brains!" Bardock smiled as he flipped over to land next to Raditz's left. Pan landed on the right. Then, two gold aura lit up the room as Bardock and Pan turned super saiyan.

"Sure, rub it in!" Raditz snarled.

"You do have the hair of a super saiyan three." Pan smirked. Raditz blushed red as he snarled at his grand-neice.

"On the count of three, launch your best attack. I'm going to blow this door away! One!" Bardock roared as his right hand flashed blue. Then, a blue aura enveloped the saiyan's hand. Raditz smirked as he raised his hand above his head, causing a pink light to appear.

"Heh. I used this attack against Kakarot. I call it a Saturday Crush." Raditz smirked. Pan ignored her great-uncle as she held her arms out, with a purple ball in each hand. She then brought them together, causing the balls to combine into one ball. The purple ball started to grow larger and larger, until it was larger than Pan's head.

"THREE!" Bardock roared as he threw his hand forward, sinding the blue blast shooting straight towards the door. At the same time, Raditz swung his arm forward, sending a pink blast shooting forward. Pan let out a scream as she fired the gigantic purple blast. All three blasts combined into a shimmering ball. Then…

BBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM! Pan, Raditz, and Bardock covered their eyes as a furious wind whipped past them.

Back at the ship…

"Bloody hell! What the hell is going on?" Ron yelled as the ship rattled.

"I don't know!" Hermione gasped.

Back to our three saiyans…

"Phew! Nice job!" Bardock chuckled as he and Pan turned back to normal. They couldn't see the door yet, but the smoke was in the way.

"So, what do you think we'll find, exactly?" Pan asked.

"A few starships, data plans, weapons… enough to make a stand against that bitch and android." Bardock smirked.

"But… that doesn't help with the elites, brutes, and other soldiers that Morgana has under her command. If we're going to make a stand, we're going to need to keep Cell and the other V Fighters at bay. Like I said before, we're going to need an army. And, I hate to say it, but there is no way that a muggle army can make a stand. What exactly do you have planned?" Pan frowned.

"Well, trust me. When we get our hands on this stuff, we'll be… no…" Bardock froze as Pan and Raditz's eyes widened. The smoke faded to reveal… the door, perfectly intact.

"What the? NO!" Bardock yelled as he pulled his hair.

"B-but, that was my best attack! It went through a class- Herza cruiser like a knife through butter! What the bloody hell is that door made of?" Pan gaped.

"Metal not native to this planet, that's for sure." Raditz frowned.

"Yeah, that's an understatement! Got another one?" Bardock yelled at Raditz.

"Well, that's not going to get this hunk of metal open, isn't it? No wonder mother was always the smart one." Raditz snorted.

"Say that to my face!" Bardock roared.

"Heh… reminds me of Uncle Goten and Trunks." Pan sniffed softly as she wiped her eyes at the memory of the two fallen warriors and watched the two saiyans scream at each other. Then, her ears twitched.

"Huh?" Pan frowned as she looked around while Bardock and Raditz continued to scream at each other. Then, her ear twitched again as something faintly echoed.

"Why you never got a haircut is beyond me! All that hair is nothing but trouble!" Bardock roared.

"Guys?" Pan asked nervously

"Well, it's better than copying your hair like Turles and Kakarot!" Raditz snorted.

"GUYS!" Pan screamed.

"WHAT?" Bardock and Raditz yelled as they turned to look at Pan.

"Listen! I don't think we're alone in here." Pan said. Then, a soft clatter made both saiyans instantly start looking around with glowing fists.

"If those idiots followed us!" Bardock swore

"No! That's not it! I think it's something else." Pan said. Then, the walls rumbled, and to everyone's shock, several things flew out of the walls and floated around the saiyans. They appeared to be floating robots. They definitely weren't humanoid-like. They had square heads, with two clawlike appendages in front, and a smooth rounded out back. In the center of their square heads was a red orb.

"What the hell?" Raditz yelled as he formed two ki balls in his hands. At that second, a red light flew out of one of the floating robots and passed over the three saiyans. Then, the light flew back into the robot.

"What did you just do, you bucket of bolts?" Pan snarled as he grabbed her sword.

"Wait! It was just scanning us!" Bardock yelled, causing Pan to lower her sword. Then, a yellow light behind them made them whirl to see a pillar of yellow light appear with yellow electricity cracking around it. Then, a floating ball appeared, making the three saiyans gape. It looked like a floating metal ball with a blue orb in the center for an eye.

"Greetings, saiyans! At long last, you've returned! I've been awaiting this day for a very long time!" a voice from the eye said, making the three saiyans gape.

"It talked!" Pan gaped

"Who are you?" Bardock frowned.

"Oh, how rude! I forgot to do introductions. I am two six five Camus Raxon! I am the overseer and guardian of New Baxban, the most sacred city of the saiyan race! I have been programmed to assist the saiyans in anyway possible." Raxon said as he floated over to Bardock.

"So, do you know what we're looking for? Can you open this door?" Bardock asked.

"But of course! We have much to do! Your presence here means only one thing, that our time has at last come, to strike back against the filth of wizardkind and conquer this planet, as King Bazba and Prince Ragnok ordered!" Raxon said, making Pan gasp.

"Oh shit!" Pan gasped.

"Whoa, whoa. First things first. We need to get to the starships. Do you know where they are?" Bardock asked as he raised his hands.

"Certainly, Master saiyan! I have a full technical layout of this structure!" Raxon laughed.

"Can you take us there?" Bardock asked Raxon.

"Certainly!" Then, Raxon and the three saiyans glowed yellow, before vanishing from the room entirely.

Who is this mysterious Camus Raxan? What secrets lie within this pyramid? What lies ahead? Review!
